Charlotte’s Official Pride Season Kickoff 5K
Pride doesn’t just happen — it’s built and sustained by our community.
For the first time, our annual QFW5K proudly benefits Charlotte Pride, the Carolinas’ largest Pride organization. This is the group that brings together LGBTQ+ people and allies from across the region and beyond for a celebration rooted in visibility, advocacy, and belonging.
This event is the official kickoff to our Pride season.
Before the flags fly, before the Festival begins, and before August arrives, we come together to take the first step.
Pride is a Movement. Move Your Way.
The QFW 5K is for runners, walkers, families, allies, and anyone who believes Pride deserves to thrive.
And this year, there’s more than one way to show up.
